Safari - Banks here we go again
Royal Bank of Scotland advises customers to use the latest versions of browsers, and even links to update pages, but does not support them! I had to use the Safari develop / user agent option to pretend it was 4.0.5 (not 4.1 or 5.0) before I could login. Then it worked perfectly of course. The new Safari doe... 9 Jun 2010 16:28

Safari 5 Install problems
Just FYI in case anyone is having problems. Now sorted but a few worrying moments. Safari 5 installed and opened but would not load any web pages. Tried re-install, permissions repair, voodoo chant without success. A Google search revealed others with the same problem and it turns out that CosmoPod was the culpr... 9 Jun 2010 11:59

Access update - Safari 5
I'm pleased to announce that there are some serious accessibility improvements within Safari 5, and long may this continue: 1. VoiceOver is no longer sluggish when closeing a tab, when there are many open. Previously, "busy" would be often announced and it would take time to sort itself and allow the navigation ... 8 Jun 2010 11:28

What triggers Safari's Reader detection?
Any ideas about what triggers it? I tested it on the Daily Mail website. As far as I can tell, the triggers for Reader mode are: Cheryl Cole Migrants pictures of famous women looking tired/blotchy/fat/thin It's pretty clever, but Apple don't really seem to have spilled any beans on how it works.

Safari 5 is out
<http://www.apple.com/safari/> PC+Mac Not showing in Software Udate though. Jim -- "Microsoft admitted its Vista operating system was a 'less good product' in what IT experts have described as the most ambitious understatement since the captain of the Titanic reported some slightly damp tablecloths." htt... 12 Jun 2010 06:06

Styles in Pages

OmniPlan and Merlin
Is anyone of aware of any recent comparisons of these two project management apps? I have the sense that OmniPlan is stagnating somewhat compared to Merlin, but wondered if there are any users here with experience of both. OmniPlan 2.0 out mid-2010 apparently. -- Cheers, Steve The reply-to email ad... 7 Jun 2010 17:44

The official WWDC prediction / reaction thread
As long as they release an iPhone which is faster than the current one and has more capacity, I'm in. If they release a white one, I'm in with bells on.

Boot Camp, Parallels and Fusion
My wife has taken the plunge and bought an iMac. It is new and shiny, fully up to date, with a wireless keyboard and Magic Mouse. Nevertheless there are still a couple of Windows applications she needs and we are looking into installing Windows 7 on her Mac rather than keep the old PC going for them. There see... 11 Jun 2010 03:48
